its a result of emergence from a simple ruleset. Is there a way to de-incentivize headers without adding restrictions?

Hockey has second-tier rules like no scoring with a high stick to minimize dangerous plays.

Soccer has that a well. Saw a dangerous goal overturned a few weeks back. The issue is adding rules, not strategies.

The icing rule is a better example. It's recent too. Icing rushes caused inordinate injurieshttps://www.nhl.com/news/hybrid-icing-tops-list-of-rule-changes-for-2013-14/c-684940 …

its true but it also fixes a spectator issue as well. Its boring to watch people just clear the puck over and over.
-
I'd argue it was a wash spectator-wise. The old rules saw a HUGE HIT on almost every icing. Big cheers for injury. -_-
-
fair, so I guess the concept is minimizing the impact of headers where they would be most damaging.
-
It's a tough challenge. The simplicity of soccer's rules give little leeway outside of specific restrictions...

I'd like to see a patch where taking a fake dive results in a red card. That would shift the world cup metagame pretty quickly :)

As a kid, I was very much not comfortable with heading a ball from a goal kick. Did it anyway because of fear of coach reprisal.

in five a side in the UK, it's a free kick if the ball goes over shoulder height, but also people love a good header of the ball!

I imagine they will eventually. But there will probably be a lot of fan and bureaucratic push back.
