This is a very good example of high sexual neuroticism but on an institutional level, you have the implicit idea that male desire is immoral and dirty and dangerous, that it contaminates female dignity, violates them with unconsented-to sexualization, but with the added institutional level that male desire is a moral danger must be managed from the outside, that some sort of external authority, in this case the broadcaster, needs to be tasked with managing the possible sexual perception of female athletes because it's unacceptable and even dangerous that male desire be activated. And you can tell this is female neuroticism because at no point is it suggested that women perform in clothes that aren't one step above underwear - no, it's the dirty men and their horrible sexual leering that taints something innocent with scary and threatening sexuality. So you end up with institutional sexual neuroticism treating male desire as a public risk that must be managed by authority
