ELI5: Why do most female athletes wear revealing clothes compared to male athletes of the same sport.

Which sport are you talking about? Women have weights on their chest that need to be controlled, and sports bras often provide the support they need whilst also covering their bits and pieces.
In the case of soccer, basketball, softball/baseball, they wear nearly equivalent gear. In the case of American football, they wear similar gear, as well, but there was also a lingerie league that was developed specifically to watch nubile women get dirty. 
Ironically, the lingerie league ended up creating the actual football league for women.
