MSN-  The voice of FedEx Forum has been silenced. 

The Grizzlies have fired public address announcer Rick Trotter, who is being accused of taking upskirt photos and videos of women at Downtown Church, where he was also employed, during services. Police in Memphis on Tuesday issued four warrants for his arrest on counts of photographing without consent. Trotter had been employed by the team since the 2005-06 season. 

According to a statement, the church fired Trotter in late May for what it categorized as "deception and moral failures of a sexual nature." The Grizzlies let Trotter go in July.




First of all, when did we start playing it so fast and loose with the Chapel dress code? What happened to putting on your Sunday's best? I'm not all that familiar with 
upskirt videos because I have yet to venture into that genre of porn, but I do know that they require the presence of a skirt. Not to victim blame here, but Rick Trotter would still have his job if all the members of the parish agreed to stop showing up to church like they were trying to get finger fucked to Fetty Wap during a high school dance. Hey ladies, less trap...more queen. After all, you're in the presence of the Lord. 

​In all seriousness though, we did learn a valuable lesson here. That lesson is that when you are employed by a public institution you better damn well be important to the day-to-day operations of that institution if you want to survive multiple upskirt allegations. A properly worded press release and a General Manager, a President, or even a highly touted scout could outlast multiple counts of perversion. Same can't be said for the dude that's responsible for announcing the starting lineup. He's getting thrown under the bus - or in this case a monster truck - every time. 

Rick Trotter, specifically, also learned another lesson here. No, it's not that he shouldn't be capturing candid cooter clips of the congregation. Something tells me he already knew that was wrong. Instead, he learned that when you're his size subtlety is not in your repertoire. I wouldn't know from experience, but upskirts seem like more of a skinny man's game. There couldn't possibly have been anything gracefully - or quiet for that matter - about a man that fat bending down far enough to get a get a lens between someone's legs. From the looks of things that had to be his most athletic undertaking in the last two decades. No doubt that it resulted in asthmatically heavy breathing and grunts that would make Serena Williams blush. Never mind the fact that the pew was probably creaking more than the most basic of haunted houses. Come on Rick, where's the anatomic awareness? Did you even value your career sitting in a booth watching sports while being three bypasses away from having any ability whatsoever to compete in them?
