a collective bargaining agreement, c.b.a. among other things the collective bargaining agreement has a restriction that says that teams cannot conspire or collude with each other to try to freeze somebody out of the league. reporter: but he believes that kaepernick's case is difficult to win since the burden is on him to prove two or more teams colluded against him. >> the standard for what the teams are going to apply is a subjective standard. colin kaepernick was a good player but unfortunately after the super bowl his win/loss record was not very good. reporter: the anthem controversy has been intensifying in recent weeks after president trump attacked nfl players for not standing which he says disrespects the flag. president trump: wouldn't you love to see one of the nfl owners when somebody disrespects our flag to say get that son of a [bleep] off the field right now? out. he's fired. reporter: kaepernick's attorney bla

administration criticism as part of the reason why owners haven't hired him but it's not that simple. >> unfortunately for colin kaepernick, the facts for this case don't relate to this season. they go back to last season, which is the last tame he was on the field in uniform. that happened even before donald trump won the election for president of the united states. reporter: this could come to a head wednesday when all the nfl owners meet to discuss how they plan to deal with the national anthem protest. in washington, i'm michelle macaluso. michelle: scientists say a cosmic crash is shedding light on orange and gold. they caught a glimpse of star collision and it sent a ripple through space and through time. you can see it right here behind me. some of the debris combined to make heavy elleapts likesh -- elements like gold, platinum and urum. nancy: if

john: if you buy a bed, couch or dining room set these days you know the salesman will probably offer to sell you an extended warranty. do you know what it really covers? more importantly, what it excludes? did ed the parrot dodge barbara's new couch? it's not talking. but barbara swears he had nothing to do with the cuts on her sectional. >> they wrote in a statement my pet bird had done the damage. >> did your pet bird do the damage? >> no. my pet birdied not leave his cage. john: it's important because she spent hundreds on an extended warranty. she said it would cover any damage to the couch, even damage caused by the young kids. >> she said i got a warranty, that we could cut the knife and cut the whole thing and they had to cover it. >> but the fine print says scratches and tears by pets is not covered. >> barbara says her children cut it with scissors

it's going to fix it. >> that is from my son fixing what my other son had done. he tried to fix it and he made it worse. >> we contacted the warranty company. a spokesman promised to ream barbara's claim. >> i would like for them to fix it. that is it. i paid for a warranty. why can't they fix it? john: the lesson for everyone. does warranty cover damage from kids, pains, stains? check exclusions before you check extra for it. is it worth it? the parrot is still not talking. the two exclusions are pets, especially dog and cat claws and wear and tear. when the leather starts cracking that is often considered wear and tear. so read the fine print and don't waste your money. john matarese, abc7 news. larry: right now at 5:00 -- >> what she has shown us so far is unbelievable. larry: a local woman shot in the head in the las vegas shooting is back in maryland. smash and
