From a comment on a Destin paper's site:

"It also said the individual who wrote the response letter was no longer a member of the management team."

They defended this situation by saying Nick Empson was an "overzealous manager in training". But many have pointed out it was the owner Daniel Empson's son.

Uh oh... Looks like this isnt the first time LSU discrimination occurred there... From the NWF article comments...


"Michelle Sereno · Owner of Sereno Resort Properties at Self-Employed
We live in Michigan but own several condos on Okaloosa Island so we are down there often. At most restraints we are considered locals. Last year we were in Destin and the same thing happened to us as my husband was wearing a LSU polo. We just laughed and never again returned to Harry Ts. There are a lot of great restraints on the Harborwalk, in Destin and on the board walk on Okaloosa Island. We still visit the Harborwalk often but have no desire to visit Harry Ts. Okaloosa Island, Fort Walton Beach and Destin are beautiful places to visit so don't stop visiting the area because of one restraints atitude, do as we do and walk right past then on route to other great places. We are LSU, BAMA, Michigan, and Most college football team fans, just not of Harry Ts. Also, if your every looking for a beautiful condo to rent on Okaloosa Island on the Gulf side, let us know. Vacationrentals.com. Listing 7006460

Michelle and Ron Sereno"


Also, go rent from a Tiger haha

Why don't they just come out apologize and fall on the sword for handling the situation so poorly. Every statement they release kind of does this but then goes on to make excuses and try to explain it away.

They should just take a quick bite of the shite sandwich this would be blown over by Monday.

I'd rather have won the game than have gotten to eat at a restaurant with some bar food. I think we came out on top in this one.

They are sincerely apologizing repeatedly on their Facebook page now. They have learned a valuable lesson here and I think Tiger nation did its job here. I'm ready to move on and put it in the past. I will give them an opportunity to win my business again in the future.

The truth is that almost all of the people posting on social media about this are not in Destin and won't be going there any time soon. These folks will be ok.

Bombarding the local uf alumni chapter president with emails is pretty classless IMHO

Everyone show up. Everyone get a drink. Everyone makes a toast at the same time... And then everyone pours drinks on floor and leaves.

True but the word will spread to those that go to Destin. I know a lot of Louisianians that love to RV and go to Destin during the summers. Most of these places survive on summer tourist dollars. If they thought they would be ok, they would not be trying to salvage the situation so hard.
