Every year, avid magazine readers look forward to People magazine's highly anticipated list for the Sexiest Man Alive. Well, this year is just a case of the "same ol', same ol'" as the handsome, yet predictable, choice of David Beckham was made. Once the news was revealed, many began to wonder, "Are the brothas not sexy enough?"

While Beckham is one of the most attractive men in sports — and Hollywood — one can't help but wonder why the Black men in Hollywood who continue to top the box office and music charts keep getting overlooked.
