teachmefirstfree.com is an independent blog written and run by a single person — Mariam. It's not a company, a media outlet, or a network of writers. It's one person who watches a lot of sport, reads a lot of comics, and writes it down properly instead of skimming a press release.
Why this site exists
Most sports coverage online is either paywalled or padded out to hit a word count. Most comic reviews are either pure hype or pure negativity, with very little actual analysis in between. teachmefirstfree.com exists to fill that gap: real stat breakdowns for sports, and honest, spoiler-conscious reviews for comics — written by someone who genuinely follows both.
About Mariam
Mariam has followed football and comics closely for years, and started teachmefirstfree.com to put that knowledge somewhere useful instead of just in group chats. Every match report and every review on this site is personally written, fact-checked, and published — there's no editorial team, no ghostwriters, and no AI-generated filler.
How this blog is run
- Posts are published roughly three times a week.
- Match stats are sourced from official league data and cross-checked before publishing.
- Comic reviews are based on issues personally read in full — no review is written from a summary.
- This is an independent, personal blog. It is not affiliated with any sports league, team, publisher, or comic studio mentioned on the site.
If it's on teachmefirstfree.com, Mariam actually watched it or read it.
