This is a great example of how categorizing the content isn't a great solution.
If someone is sexualizing something in the workplace, the problem is the person's behavior, not the thing they are sexualizing.
The situation we find ourselves in came from setting boundaries around content instead of behavior. Our society treats nudity itself as if it were the act of sexualization, assuming that people have no control over their own behavior.
Watching the olympics at lunchtime is commonplace and accepted in most workplaces. Being a creep about it is not. It's almost always a pretty clear line between the two.
It only becomes sexualized by the behavior of the people watching - professional athletes competing for their country isn't something intrinsically inappropriate.
