suggestion that the board had knowledge of this conduct is false. virginia governor mccall says he is giving the donations to. made to his 2013 campaign. the progress says the donation was more than $55,000. this morning a utah police officer is without a job after the shocking arrest of a nurse. >> we are done. we are done. you are under arrest. are you going. we are done. >> some video widely circulated on video. utah jeff pain was let go tuesday following an internal investigation into the arrest of the nurse that you saw there in that video alex

anthem. that led to a tweet this morning from president trump. he wrote, quote, it is about time that roger goodell of the nfl is finally demanding that all players stand for our great national anthem, respect our country. end quote. as concerns mount over the risk of concussion ns football players, the number of young kids playing football continues to decline. and a new study is acting fuel to the fire. joining us now talking about mental health risks associated with youth football. fl now you are telling us a physical risk but mental risk. >> right. this was an interesting study that looked at 214 football players that played high school, colt e college or up to the pros. and kwha they sought out to find the age they started to play football had impact on future mental health issues. and what they found is that the younger the kids or the

the people or these men started playing football, the worst their long-term outcome. and the cut off age here was 12 years old. so if you started playing football before the age of 12, even if you stopped playing after high school, or if you kept playing, the key was the age at which you started. >> interesting. >> those people had three times the risk of developing depression compared to those who started playing football after the age of 12. and twice the risk of having problems with something called executive functioning, which is your ability to organize and plan. they also had behavioral regulation problems. and general increases in apathy or lack of interest in things. >> tand that's interesting because it doesn't matter how long you play, but it matters it the age. >> that's what they found to be critical factor. >> that's a recent study that showed no relationship between youth football and future problems. how do you assess these differences in the two studies? >> i think the key here was

right. so you always have to pay attention to where is the money coming from. and what they did, there were also some ditches here in terms of the study. this particular study i'm talking about looked at over 200 people. that study looked at only 45 players and majority of those did not play youth football. so majority of them started playing when they were over the age of 12. so it's not comparing apples to apples. >> that is key factor. so is there something unique about the brain function, especially in younger ages, that accounts for the changes you are talking about when they do start playing football at a young age? >> yes. so the key here is that ages 9 through 12 seem to be a period of rapid brain development. so this is just a critical time for your brain in terms of its long-term development. in particular, there are regions called the hippocampus and amygdala which are involved in mood elevation and these undergo a lot of change. so if you are

in the head, maybe not to the concussion, there is a risk you'll get long-term problems. it's interesting they did a study, even if you didn't get a concussion, the average football player has 250 head impacts per season. >> and they have to add up. >> they have to add up you would think. we don't have the data but common sense probably. >> football is not only contact foot. you are doing headers in soccer. what about other sports? >> i don't know. i don't think the focus is out. the primary focus is on football because of all this traumatic enself lopy stuff that are having problems and suicide. these other sports with involved but don't require as much head involvement. so we know with soccer our kids play soccer, they are not allowed to do headers until the age of 11. so sports can make accommodations. talk they might

same thing with football where don't do tackling until later age. >> thank you. important issue. talking about soccer, next story, embarrassment, us world soccer not advancing to the world cup. what went wrong? and we showed you and told you how daung russ the wildfires in northern california are. today a firsthand ralph northam: i'm ralph northam, candidate for governor, and i sponsored this ad. narrator: ed gillespie wants to end a woman's right to choose. ed giof a woman'sd put thpersonal decisions,rge not women and their doctors. as governor, ed gillespie says, i would like to see abortion be banned.
