The following passengers will be allowed a 1st and/or 2nd checked bag at no additional charge provided it falls within the size and weight limitations.
Where does it mention the 3rd free checked bag?
In that same
link, the section that pertains to "Flights within the United States, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Canada" states in the column titled "Number of Bags Allowed":
Attention First and Business Class Customers
We are pleased to offer customers in First and Business Class the ability to check
three bags at no charge when traveling on American or connecting with British Airways or Iberia.
I believe that verbiage that was quoted came from the "exceptions" list. Another case, IMHO, where AA.com is contradictory (or, at least, isn't clear throughout all of the applicable pages)
